That probably comes from the book, where there is a passage detailing his first murder as a college boy (I think he left his girlfriends decapitated head swinging from a rope over a river), which was covered up by his rich and important father. Though skimming through my copy, I naturally cannot find the passage.

That they're melodramatically over acting. With gusto. It's not necessarily referring to a poor performance, as the character could be a vigorously extravagant one with a highly affected manner, and so have the same lack of subtleties. But it's generally used as a negative. Its origin isn't well established, but it's certainly a theatrical term from at least the 1890's.

SkunkDuster posted:Am I wrong for liking the directors cut of Aliens? I liked how it showed Ripley's loss of her daughter and taking Newt on as a surrogate. I'm not going to say that you're wrong, but that's why I really disliked the directors cut. In the cinematic cut, Ripley and the Marines going after and taking care of Newt was the human thing to do, contrasted with the corporate thing to do personified by Burke. Ripley didn't need the motivation of a dead child. It was patronising and cheap.
